__NOTOC__ Matt Weinstock (1903–1970) was a managing editor of the ''Los Angeles Illustrated Daily News'' and a columnist for three Los Angeles, California, newspapers for 33 years.〔("Matt Weinstock, 66, Veteran Newsman and Columnist, Dies," ''Los Angeles Times,'' January 10, 1970, page B-1 )〕 Weinstock, the son of Frank Weinstock, a clothing manufacturer, and Sarah Weinstock, was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on February 12, 1903, and moved with his family to Los Angeles when he was eight years old. He graduated from Los Angeles High School in 1920, then spent three years at UCLA, where he was sports editor of the student newspaper, the ''California Grizzly.'' 〔The school at that time was known as the Southern Branch of the University of California. (UCLA History Project. )〕 He left school in 1924 to become a sports reporter for the ''Daily News.''〔〔("Mrs. Weinstock Funeral Today," ''Los Angeles Times,'' November 27, 1936, page A-3 )〕 He was made managing editor of the newspaper in 1934 by publisher Manchester Boddy and took over the duties of writing a regular column three years later when E.V. Durling, the featured columnist for the newspaper, left for the ''Los Angeles Times.'' He recalled that "I couldn't find anyone" to replace Durling, "and in desperation I filled in as columnist myself. . . . I had to make a choice. I chose the column job, rejecting that as managing editor. It seemed a stupid thing to do at the time, but it has proved very wise."〔 Weinstock wrote for the ''Daily News'' until it ended publication in 1954, when he joined Harry Chandler's new afternoon newspaper, the ''Los Angeles Mirror.'' He moved to the ''Times'' in November 1961 when the ''Mirror'' folded.〔〔("Noted Columnists in 2nd Appearance," ''Los Angeles Times,'' November 12, 1961, page E-1 )〕 He died of cancer on January 8, 1970. He was survived by his wife, Hilda of Malibu; a son, James Weinstock; two daughters, Mrs. Joy Clement and Mrs. Jane Krigbaum; and two brothers, Herbert and Charles Weinstock. Private services were held at Westwood Memorial Park.〔 ==Books== * 〔 * 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Matt Weinstock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
